1 Esi Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo kple Kanaantɔwo, ame siwo nɔ Domeƒu la nu se be Yehowa na Yɔdan tɔsisi la mie, ale be Israelviwo te ŋu zɔ ƒuƒuiƒe le tɔʋu la me hetso tɔsisia la, dzi ɖe le wo ƒo, eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo ŋutɔŋutɔ.
Therfor aftir that alle kyngis of Ammorreys herden, that dwelliden ouer Jordan at the west coost, and alle the kyngis of Canaan, that weldiden nyy places of the greet see, that the Lord hadden dried the flowyngis of Jordan bifor the sones of Israel, til thei passiden, the herte of hem was failid, and spirit dwellide not in hem, dredynge the entring of the sones of Israel.
2 Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be, “Tsɔ kpe nàwɔ hɛwo, eye nàtso aʋa na Israel ŋutsuwo katã.”
In that tyme the Lord seide to Josue, Make to thee knyues of stoon, and circumside thou the sones of Israel, in the secunde tyme.
3 Yosua wɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo la dzi, eye wòtso aʋa na Israel ŋutsuwo katã le Aralɔt togbɛ la gbɔ.
Josue dide tho thingis whiche the Lord comaundide, and he circumside the sones of Israel in the `hil of prepucies.
4 Azɔ la, susu si ta wòwɔe ɖo lae nye esi: ame siwo katã do tso Egipte, ŋutsu siwo katã ate ŋu ayi aʋa la ku ɖe gbea dzi esi wodo go tso Egipte.
Sotheli this is the cause of the secunde circumcisioun; al the puple of male kynde, that yede out of Egipt, alle men fiyteris, weren deed in deseert bi the lengeste cumpassis of weie,
5 Wotso aʋa na ame siwo katã do go tso Egipte, ke wometsoe na ame siwo katã wodzi le gbea dzi esi wodo go tso Egipte la o.
whiche alle weren circumsidid. Sotheli the puple
6 Israel dukɔ la tsa tsaglalã le gbedzi ƒe blaene sɔŋ va se ɖe esime ŋutsu siwo katã tsi, eye woate ŋu ade aʋa esi wodzo le Egipte la ku. Womeɖo to Yehowa o, eya ta Yehowa ka atam be yemana woade anyigba si ŋugbe yedo na Israel, “Anyigba si dzi notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo” la dzi o.
that was borun in deseert bi fourti yeer, in the weie of broddeste wildirnesse, was vncircumsidid til thei weren waastid, that herden not the `vois of the Lord, and to whiche he swoor bifore, that he schulde schewe to hem the lond flowynge with mylk and hony.
7 Ale Yosua tso aʋa na wo viŋutsuwo, ame siwo tsi va xɔ ɖe wo fofowo teƒe la azɔ.
The sones of hem camen aftirward in to the place of fadris, and thei weren circumsidid of Josue; whiche, as thei weren borun, weren in prepucie, nether ony man hadde circumsidid hem in the weie.
8 Esi wotso aʋa na ŋutsuawo vɔ la, dukɔ blibo la tɔ ɖe asaɖa la me va se ɖe esime abiawo ku.
Forsothe aftir that alle weren circumsidid, thei dwelliden in the same place of tentis, til thei weren heelid.
9 Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be, “Egbe la, miaƒe kluvinyenye le Egipte ƒe ŋukpe la ɖe ɖa,” eya ta woyɔa teƒe ma va se ɖe egbe be Gilgal, si gɔmee nye, “Ɖeɖeɖa.”
And the Lord seide to Josue, To dai Y haue take awei fro you the schenschip of Egipt. And the name of that place was clepid Galgala, `til in to present dai.
10 Esime wonɔ asaɖa me le Gilgal le Yeriko gbedzi la, woɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui le ɣleti la ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia ƒe fiẽ.
And the sones of Israel dwelliden in Galgalis, and maden pask in the fourtenthe dai of the monethe at euentide, in the feeldi places of Jerico;
11 Gbe ma gbe ƒe fɔŋlie nye ŋkeke gbãtɔ si dzi woɖu nukuwo tso Kanaanyigba la dzi; woɖu bli meme kple amɔ maʋamaʋã.
and `thei eten of the fruytis of the lond `in the tothir day, therf looues, and potage of the same yeer, `ether cornys seengid and frotid in the hond.
12 Esi ŋu ke la, mana megadza o, eye womegakpɔe kpɔ va se ɖe egbe o! Eya ta tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, woɖua Kanaanyigba dzi nukuwo.
And manna failide aftir that thei eten of the fruytis of the lond; and the sones of Israel vsiden no more that mete, but thei eten of the fruytis of present yeer of the lond of Canaan.
13 Esime Yosua nɔ teƒe si te ɖe Yeriko ŋu, eye wòfɔ kɔ dzi ko la, ame aɖe si lé yi ɖe asi la do ɖe eŋkume kpoyi! Yosua te ɖe eŋu, eye wòbiae be, “Mía dzie nèle loo alo míaƒe futɔe nènye?”
Sothely whanne Josue was in the feeld of the cite of Jerico, he reiside the iyen, and siy a man stondynge ayens hym, and holdynge a drawun swerd; and Josue yede out to hym, and seide, Art thou oure, ethir `of aduersaries?
14 Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa ƒe aʋakɔ ƒe Aʋafiae menye.” Yosua tsyɔ mo anyi, de ta agu nɛ kple vɔvɔ̃, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Wò dɔlae menye; nu ka nèdi be mawɔ?”
To whom he answeride, Nay, but Y am prince of the `hoost of the Lord, and now Y come. Josue felde lowe to erthe, and worschipide, and seide, What spekith my Lord to his seruaunt?
15 Yehowa ƒe Aʋafia la gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe wò afɔkpa le afɔ, elabena teƒe kɔkɔe aɖee nètsi tsitre ɖo!” Yosua wɔ nu si Aʋafia la ɖo nɛ, heɖe eƒe afɔkpa la le afɔ.
He seide, Vnlace thi schoo fro thi feet, for the place, in which thou stondist, is hooli. And Josue dide, as it was comaundid to hym.
